Thanksgiving started off with a bang, I got to leave the office early which is always a nice treat! We had to wait around the house until Meghan and Dan’s flight got in. So we packed up our things and loaded it all including the pups into the rental car (which isn’t allowed supposedly) and headed to the airport. It’s always so fun to see Meghan and Dan so we were excited to get to see them this Holiday. So pups and all we headed out to Sulphur Springs for Thanksgiving at the Shacks. We didn’t get there until 11:00 or so but we stayed up catching up for a bit.
Every morning Chris or I would have to get up to let the pups out early in the morning. They get really excited when we are there for some reason. But most mornings consisted of sleeping in and enjoying a great filling breakfast and great conversations. Then we all just lounged around waiting for someone to get motivated to do something. Thursday of course we just lounged around and cooked our Thanksgiving lunch. It was quite the feast, let me tell you. After everything digested we went to the Sulphur Springs movie theater to see Four Christmases. It was okay, not my favorite but still funny at parts. Chris’ parents have a Wii so that was a lot of our entertainment for the week, not only Wii but Wii fit so it was really fun and active all at the same time. It was funny to watch Chris and his Dad ski, play soccer, and do the ski jump.
Friday we ended up making a trip out to Rockwall to do some shopping, no 4 am wake up call for use though. We divided and conquered, the girls ran to Ulta and the girly shops as the men made their way to Best Buy and Dicks Sporting Goods. We even took all took a picture with Santa Claus and ate lunch along the lake. We made it out of there around 4.00 or so.
We got back to the Shacks’ and began the College football extravaganza! We ended up watching the A&M/TX game, the Kansas/Mizzou game, the Tech/Baylor game and of course last but NOT least the nail bitter the OU/OSU game. The game was full of nail biting plays, scary acrobatics, and much celebration. We are so pumped that we won, since that nailed us the #2 spot in the BCS polls. Off to the Big 12 Championship and hopefully the National Championship. Yeah for Sooner Football!!
We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving with the Shack’s this year; it was a great time with family and friends. We made our trek back to Dallas to get Meghan and Dan back to Denver in time for their church service. Chris and I enjoyed relaxing the entire afternoon; the pups were zonked from having toddlers all over them this past weekend. They did really good with having kids hanging all over them and playing with them all day Saturday. Once we got home we got our Christmas tree down and started to decorate for the holidays. Oh and I finally got the chance to bake some cookies… I love the Holidays!
